In today's episode, Love is Blind season 1's Lauren Chamblin, LC, steps into The Love Pod *again* to look back at her time on Love is Blind as well as her time on Perfect Match, along with playing a few games including our take on Hot One's hot takes and Smash or Pass: Reality TV edition.

She also clears up some Love is Blind rumors about the cast including Amber and Barnett, Mark, Jessica, and of course, LC herself. Shares what she's been up to since Love is Blind: After the Altar, and gives us a sample of her voiceover work, channeling Britney Spears for an impression.

Chris Fox from Love is Blind season 5 joins the pod this week to talk about everything from the Chris/Johnie/Izzy love triangle to his celebrity encounters.

Chris developed a bit of a player reputation after ghosting Johnie and getting a new girlfriend, but has he changed his ways? We chatted with Chris about Love is Blind, After the Altar, and what life has been like on the Houston dating scene.

He also gives us an exclusive look at his pod journal. What did he have to say about Johnie, Stacy and the other women he dated in the pods?

If that's not enough, we also have an Instagram deep dive into some of his most embarrassing moments, and play a little Would You Rather with the Hebrew Hammer. You have to listen to find out how that one came to be.

This week, the latest LIB alum to join the LovePod Squad is season 2's Nick Thompson. Nick made for a controversial figure post-show. The notoriously messy season ended with Nick married to fellow cast member Danielle Ruhl, and were still together a year later during the Love is Blind After the Altar reunion. But that's not the legacy Nick is leaving more than 3 years after his time on the Netflix reality show.

Life has changed for Nick quite a bit since Love is Blind season 2. His openness about his experience on the show and its impact on his mental health led him to co-found UCAN with fellow Love is Blind cast member Jeremy Hartwell and clinical psychologist Dr. Isabelle Morley. Alongside Real Housewives of New York alum Bethenny Frankel, the organization is working for change on unscripted network television shows.

Nick's podcast, Eyes Wide Open, also digs deep into stigmatized social issues, with a special focus on mental health with guests including fellow Love is Blind cast mates, psychology experts and even well known comedians getting candid about their lives.
